Catholic teachers congratulate incoming Premier Wynne

Look Forward to Further Improving Education in Ontario

TORONTO, Jan. 28, 2013 /CNW/ - The Ontario English Catholic Teachers'
Association (OECTA) congratulates incoming Premier Kathleen Wynne, and
looks forward to working with her to address the needs of Catholic
teachers and their students.

"We look forward to working with Wynne to move Ontario's education
system from great to excellent," says Kevin O'Dwyer, OECTA president.
"As Minister of Education, she demonstrated her ability to bring people
together, to engage in meaningful dialogue and to listen. We are
confident that she will bring those same skills to the role of
Premier."

"Throughout her campaign, Wynne promoted strengthening the bargaining
process so that it is open, fair, and respectful. We look forward to
working with her to develop this new process for bargaining where all
stakeholders have a voice," adds O'Dwyer.

OECTA represents the 43,000 professional women and men who teach all
grades in publicly funded English Catholic schools in Ontario.
